Hi Steve, I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I knew that "USER 1" would change users; I know that works. I was asking about being able to execute programs from user area 0 when you are in another user area (like 1 thru 15). That's the piece I can't seem to get working.
My solution for now is to copy all the txt files that I want to work on, along with VED40, and that works. I'll want to keep an eye on the number of directory descriptors since there will be a bunch of duplicate files out there. :-) Thank you!
